MY DELICIOUS IMMUNE-BOOSTING TEA RECIPE FROM INDIA

5 herbs one must have handy at home are:
Turmeric
Garlic
Ginger
Black pepper (Uziza)
Black Seed
With time I will let you know my reasons for recommending those.

Today I want to talk about the IMMUNE BOOSTING HERBAL TEA otherwise known as THE GOLDEN GODDESS HEALING TEA which is highly valued in India.

Its golden, delicious and it is healthful.
This  potent tea formula has been used (in various forms) for over 2000 years in India and the Far East as a daily health tonic. It is now been received with open hands around the world.

I’ve been making and taking  it  lately, because one of its main ingredients,  turmeric, is a powerful herbal remedy, with more than 800 science backed healing evidence and benefits.

As you may have heard, turmeric is known as the “Golden Goddess” because of the seemingly limitless number of health benefits its rhizome bestows upon us. Turmeric is known to contain at least 20 antibiotic compounds, 14 known anti-cancer compounds, 10 antioxidants and 12 anti-inflammatory agents, just to mention a few.

The combination of turmeric, ginger, black pepper and lemon is perfect for the colds and sore throats that come with the fall and winter months.

And when you add in the energizing and mood-elevating effects of tulsi (holy basil) plus a good honey, you’re left with a supercharged tea that delights the taste buds.
According to Nick Polizzi, "Once you begin to harness the power of herbs, your tea kettle will take on a whole new meaning in your life".

 THE GOLDEN GODDESS TEA RECIPE

Ingredients:

3 cups water
1 fresh turmeric root (1 to 2 inches), peeled and thinly sliced
(Or you can use dried turmeric powder)
1 ginger root (1 inch), thinly sliced
5 tulsi leaves (fresh or dried), whole
1 lemon, fresh squeezed
Pinch of ground black pepper
Honey to taste

Preparation:

- In a tea kettle or saucepan, add water, turmeric, ginger, pepper and tulsi.
- Bring to a boil and let cook for 10 minutes.
- Using a small strainer (optional), pour the liquid only into 2 serving cups.
- Squeeze 1/2 of a lemon into each cup.
- Add honey to taste.
- Serve and enjoy!

(If you used the dried forms of any of the herbs above, it’s a good idea to pour the tea through a strainer and then into serving cups.)

Polizzi was introduced to this tea by one of his core team members, Mileen Patel, and he has been blown away by its benefits. I have also been in this and have benefited immensely from it. Once you try it and experience the feeling of wellness that comes over you while drinking, you’ll know why it’s such a cherished beverage in India!

You can prepare a large amount and store in the fridge to enjoy it's delightful flavoured golden benefits. With this recipe you can run the hills with your health looking up.

Live HERBALISTICALLY!!!
